Updating Firmware

The FJ-X3 Wireless Trigger is designed with a USB-C port to allow for ﬁrmware updates

and charging ONLY. Future ﬁrmware updates may result in performance enhancements

along with modiﬁed menu options and layouts. We highly recommend that you visit

fjwestcott.com/ﬁrmware to conﬁrm your FJ-X3 has the latest ﬁrmware.

Installing the Firmware

1. Visit fjwestcott.com/ﬁrmware. Find and download the latest ﬁrmware ZIP ﬁle.

(Note: Various browsers may automatically unzip the ZIP ﬁle. In this scenario, skip to Step #3.)

2. Unzip the ﬁle. Open the extracted folder.

3. IMPORTANT: Read ALL FILES located in the extracted folder (i.e. README, Changelog).

4. Ensure the FJ-X3 is OFF.

5. Connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to the FJ-X3’s USB-C port.

6. On the FJ-X3, press and hold the SYNC•MENU button below the screen.

7. While holding the button, connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to your computer’s USB-A

port. The Wireless Signal Indicator light on FJ-X3 will illuminate red when your computer

has recognized the connection to the FJ-X3. You may release the button at this time. Most

operating systems will present the FJ-X3 as an external device. MacOS may display an

icon on the desktop or in a Finder window.

8. Locate the .BIN ﬁle on your computer and drag the ﬁle to the FJ-X3 (external device).

9. Once the ﬁle has copied to the FJ-X3, EJECT the external device from the computer.

10. Unplug the USB-A to USB-C cable from your computer and the FJ-X3.

11. Long press the Power button on the FJ-X3 to initiate the ﬁrmware update.

IMPORTANT

• If the FJ-X3 doesn’t display as an external device after connecting to a computer, disconnect

the USB cable from both devices and restart the computer and ﬁrmware update process.

• It’s recommended that the ﬁrmware update installation process be completed only when

the connected computer’s power level is ≥ 25%. Loss of power of any type during this

process could render the FJ-X3 inoperable and require professional repair.

• Removing the USB cable from the FJ-X3 without properly ejecting the device from your

computer could render the trigger inoperable and require professional repair.

• Copying the ﬁrmware from your computer to the FJ-X3 may take a few minutes and/or

halt the copying process. Should this happen, close the copy progress window and try

again. Further copying issues may require the computer to be restarted.
